The Wee Cabane shelf
Three little doors,
very different weather.
One opens onto a daughter's hidden creative life. One blinks back from the deep end of appetite and shame. One spins under moonlight, grip chalk, glitter and wanting without apology. Across them all: avatars, nicknames and stage names that let people do what ordinary life would not.
Darkly comic anti-memoir
Life Mid-Crisis
A profane, lyrical box of evidence recovered from sex, status, appetite, guilt and collapse.

The wrong reader
at the right moment.
Greg Martin is a forty-six-year-old music teacher in Brighton — a failed jazz pianist, a half-absent father, the kind of man who has been losing his daughter for nine years and has not yet admitted it.
Ella, his seventeen-year-old daughter, makes poems and drawings on an anonymous Instagram account. When Greg discovers it, he finds a hidden creative life he has never been allowed to see — and makes a choice that cannot be taken back.
A Door Made of Ink is a novel about seeing and being seen, and the small accumulated trespasses by which a father becomes the wound he is trying to soothe.
